If the repeal . of laws of this nature - Was a breach of the coronatioh oath, every-.Soe: vereign since the days of Henry . VIII. was per jured. King William_ was perjured . when he signed the capitulation of Limerick ; Queen Ann w as Perjured wheal 'she passed the Act of Unionavith Scotiand ; George I. and George IL were perjured. Our present gracious Sovereign'was guilty of a. breach of the coronation oath," in the poWet to take lands given to the RoMan Citholies in 1778, on the right of inheritance given in 1782, in the parti cipation of the elective franchise given in 1793. Thus . the best and MOM beneficial Aas of his Majesty's reign Weie . but it Succession of perjueies.. 'Here Mr. Grattan read passages front the Coronation Oath, 'which he contended could not tae interpreted in the .-manner laid down by the enemies . of the Catholics, without making the rights of the Churchthe wrongs of the People; by incapacitating'l-sth of hisrMas jestyl Subjetts from the best means sef 'serving. the State. The Church wes made a confederation against the State, and ,the King was made a party to that conspiracy. 'He' agreed there were cases in Which. the Coronation Oath Would interfere 'With. : ale' penal minutes, but it was to repeal them. Al* King was sworn to protect the Chuteli as by law 'established ; but suppose a case in which it should. become necessary to employ foreign troops for the defence of the country, would the King be Precluded ftom assenting to such a measure ? In such a case, it would' be necessary to unite all the People in the common defence ; 'and then, whatso ever may be said of the oath, it sometimes be came imperiously necessary to repeal penal sta tutes. He had now gone through the greater part of what he had to offer; and would be'hs btiel as pos. Bible in stating what he had yet to say. He trusted' that 'he had sitewn that there was moral, ne incom ign iAn y in the Catholics to debar themfrom t he full enjoYment of the constitution.

Were we to be haunted in every step we teAlt by the remains of the penal code, in opposition tn'every great principle of religion, public defence, and liberty. Mr. Fox, who presented the for Mer letition, had been front his earliest days the decided, friend of the repeal of the penal laws.

God forbid that the Re volution should be identified with the proserlption of the Catholics. If It were so, the admiration with which he had always.regarded that transaction was a most mistaken . admiration. If we looked to the history of those times, we should find that the laws against the.Catholie, as well as Protestaufthssenteri; originated nut. in religious, but iu political motives. Bolero the Revolution the laws passed against the , • Catholics were evidently' intended, not so much to prevent the introducition of the Catholic religion, as to prevent the accession of James 11.
